Title: Baylor is a great example....
Post by: OregonSmock on February 18, 2012, 07:13:47 PM
...of how coaching makes a difference.  You guys try to diminish what Danny Manning does with KU's big men, but take a look at the development (or lack thereof) when it comes to Baylor's big men.  Perry Jones III would be a NPOY candidate under Self's system.  At Baylor, he won't even be All Big 12.

Pretty sure Jones would shrink in pressure situations just as much at KU as he does at Baylor.  It's not a coaching thing that's the problem, it's the giant gaping vagina he has.

Bill Self molds his players into tough competitors.  Look at the transformation Withey has undergone since the beginning of the season.  Quit with the denial.

TRob is a NPOY candidate and didn't even see the floor until his JR year.  so PJ3 still has time.

jones is more skilled than any of ku's bigs, what exactly is it that you koolaiders claim that manning teaches the ku bigs?  something other than skills?


drew's faults as a coach have to do with getting his teams to play hard.  depending on his mix of players also sometimes selfishness.  but the idea that they lack skill or don't develop skill is lollable.

Ya, the talking point that they "improve" so much is kinda diminished by the FACT that they don't get PT early in their career at KU.  KU recruits so well, that you have to wait your turn...also, they recruit so well that it's a bit easier to coach that kind of talent.  rock chalk

So, with Trob leaving, and Withey continuing his Danny Manning coached super star rise, there should be no drop off for the hawks next year right?  I mean, there's probably 2-3 more guys ready to make their leap in growth from Danny's magic touch, right?

We should expect to see Young and Wesley dominate next year, right?

Yep, Selby is averaging 5 minutes a game, and is shooting 16% from behind the arc.

He's scored . . . 0.0 in the previous 10 games.  In fact, in the previous 10 games the only stat Selby has is .5 steals.

Young and Wesley might not even be on the roster next year.  KU will have Withey, Traylor, Ellis, Peters, Lucas, and possibly Jakarr Sampson.  We will be loaded once again next season.

I absolutely love the premise that a player can't improve or be developed unless he's a diamond in the rough 2-star recruit.  You guys should take a break from sitting on the couch by the computer/TV and go out and watch a high school basketball game sometime.

Yes, because again, a player cannot improve or develop unless he's a 2-star recruit that nobody has ever heard of before.  Fascinating logic on goFULLBLOWNDENIAL.com.

Yeah, Withey is much better than Gipson, and it's not even close.  If you took a look at their stats for Big 12 games it would be even more lopsided.  Withey is going to be the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.  You guys are all delusional and in denial.  It's fascinating stuff.  I mean just take a look at the stats from their last head-to-head matchup:

Yes, the irony... I predicted before the season that KU would be better than K-State and would likely win an 8th straight Big 12 title.  You guys predicted a sweep of KU and said that KU would suck.  You guys can't even acknowledge when KU's big men show improvement.  It's hilariously pathetic.

only dumbfucks predicted a sweep of ku, so i'm guessing not many people here did.  also, your withey v gipson 1 game comparo is just a 1 game sample size



Okay, let's compare Big 12 stats then.

just wondering what big men ku coaches have developed outside of 4 and 5 star guys  :dunno:



For the last time, this thread is highlighting the fact that just because a guy is a 4/5-star recruit does not mean he's automatically going to be good.  Look at Perry Jones III.  Look at Wally Judge.  Look at Jason Bennett.  KU develops their big men better than any other program in the country.  All of you clowns thought Withey sucked before the season started, and he just dropped a near triple-double on your asses the other night.  Step out of your EMAW bubble for a second and take a look at reality.

Yes Witheys stats are way up this year but his minutes per game have increased 4x.

Do you have an extra 23rd chromosome? Honestly, for the sake of KU's academic integrity, I hope you didn't actually go there. His numbers per game have gone up tremendously (good job, takes HBBIQ to spot that) but per 40 minutes, his points AND rebounds have gone down. I credit Danny Manning. A true miracle worker.

See, you guys have no critical thinking ability.  You just rely on arbitrary numbers to make your points without taking certain factors into account.  First of all, Withey's minutes last year came against weak competition, at the end of blowouts.  This year, he is playing everybody.  Also, his free throw percentage is way up (around 84%).  His improvement over the course of the season has been incredible.  He's averaging 11.2 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 4 bpg against Big 12 competition.  He was one block shy of a triple double against the grapes, and you guys still can't give credit where credit is due.  You are beyond hope.  I guess that's what happens when you get 44-3'ed.

When I visited Baylor for my preseason postcard last fall, Perry Jones told me that he only participated in one summer camp that involved top collegians. Not only did he skip the main events that were sponsored by Nike, Jones told me he didn't even know about them. (Probably just a coincidence that Baylor is an adidas school.) I have to believe that if Jones spent his summer going up against high-level competition instead of working out by himself in Waco that he would be a much better and tougher player.

Wow, makes you really count your blessings for having an elite apparel contract with Nike.

There are certainly less fortunate out there like  Baylor and KU.

I'm done with Seth Davis. Done. He absolutely has no idea what he's talking about in terms of efficiency. I mean, I don't even...

It doesn't account for efficiency.

If you're a true, hardcore college basketball fan, you know all about efficiency rankings, also known as tempo-free stats. They sprang from the brilliant mind of Ken Pomeroy. His site, KenPom.com, is a bountiful source of useful information. I check it almost every day, and I use Ken's nuggets frequently in my columns and television analysis.

However, these numbers have no place in the bracketing process. None. They tell us a great deal about why a team wins, but that is far less important than knowing whether it wins. Believe it or not, sometimes the less efficient team still ends up with more points.

That's a shame. I've enjoyed his twitter feed since it got hacked.

Hmmmm...

Ken Pomeroy @kenpomeroy
@ksu_FAN That's not exactly what he said.

In response to:

ksu_FAN @ksu_FAN
@kenpomeroy Please address @SethDavisHoops comment on efficiency: "sometimes the less efficient team still ends up with more points".

ksu_FAN @ksu_FAN
@kenpomeroy Its hard for me to see that he was saying otherwise. And most of his points defending the RPI are flawed at best.
